Chapter 26 is astonishing!
"Zhang Hao, Class 1, Grade 12, Qi and Blood Level 6.5."
"Li Wei, Class 7, Grade 12, Qi and Blood Level 6.2"
"..."
A cacophony of mechanical sounds rose and fell, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.
This is a Qi and Blood Examination Room at Rongcheng No. 2 High School, where students took their September entrance exams.
More than 300 senior high school students lined up according to the Qi and blood cultivation stance training, like bricks waiting to be tested.
Wang Xing stood in the queue of tidal piles, feeling the tense or excited atmosphere around him. Finally, it was his turn. He stepped into the scanning area, and a beam of light slowly swept over him from head to toe.
"drop--"
A few seconds later, a line of glaring red data popped up on the huge holographic screen:
"Wang Xing, Class 33, Senior High School, Qi and Blood Level 7.5."
Buzz—!
Many students waiting for their tests glanced at Wang Xing's readings and gasped in shock.
"Holy crap, level 7.5?!"
"My goodness, how many people in our school have a blood and qi level higher than this?"
"The key is that this planet was only level 7.1 a month ago. My god, it gained 0.4 levels in a month! That speed... is it flying like a rocket?!"
"No wonder he's a star student at our school! Ah!"
"..."
Wang Xing was not surprised by this result. Three days ago, the second Abyss Blood Pill he purchased had also been successfully absorbed. His Qi and Blood had risen to another level, from 7.4 to 7.5.
Wang Xing then went to the electronic test station next door and began the test of his blood and qi quality.
The Qi and Blood assessment consists of three parts: grade, quality, and physical fitness.
The level of Qi and blood is self-explanatory and can be determined with a single test. However, the quality of Qi and blood is determined by stance training. Each student stands in front of the stance in the center of the testing area and practices stance training. The instrument will comprehensively evaluate the level of Qi and blood quality based on parameters such as the fluctuation frequency, amplitude, and stability of Qi and blood circulation.
Wang Xing practiced the Tidal Stance. When he stood still on the platform and closed his eyes, his blood and qi surged like a tide with each breath. In an instant, the proctor's eyes lit up.
"Tidal Stakes, Third Layer, Abyss."
An elderly teacher with gray hair whispered to his colleague, "At this level, the circulation of Qi and blood is long, robust, and inexhaustible; the score is at least 85+."
"more than."
Another teacher stared at the fluctuating data on the instrument, her voice filled with surprise, "Look at his Qi and blood fluctuation curve, it's almost a perfect sine wave. No spikes, no breaks, which means his meridians are in excellent condition, and the flow of Qi and blood in his body is almost unimpeded. This quality of Qi and blood... I estimate it to be above 90."
The third item is the physical fitness assessment, which includes: pull-ups, push-ups, squats, 100-meter sprints, shuttle runs, etc.
Physical fitness may seem unrelated to mecha, but it is actually crucial. The body is the vessel for vital energy and the foundation for bearing the load of controlling the mecha. Only with a solid physical foundation can vital energy and blood unleash their full power.
Conversely, people with poor physical fitness, no matter how high their Qi and blood level or quality, cannot withstand the strain and cannot unleash their full potential. Those with high Qi and blood but poor physical condition may even face the risk of Qi and blood bursting out of their bodies.
On many of the colonized planets of the Beidou Star Alliance, there are alien races who specialize in physical cultivation, capable of tearing apart mechs with their bare hands. Humans on Earth, limited by their genes, cannot follow that path and can only use their vital energy as a bridge, compensating for the shortcomings of their physical bodies with the power of mechs.
Wang Xing never had to worry about this aspect. Every day at 4 a.m., he would rush to school. The bus ride would take more than 40 minutes, but Wang Xing managed to run it in 25 minutes. With such physical fitness, it was impossible for him to be bad.
Although the results of the Qi and Blood test have not yet been released, Wang Xing has already caused quite a stir in Class 13.
"Brother Xing, level 7.5! You're about to take off!"
"I'm only 0.5 levels away from becoming a mecha pilot. I should easily break level 8 before the college entrance exam, right?"
Lü Mufei also came closer, her platinum blonde hair shimmering in the sunlight, her tone filled with shock: "My god, you increased your Qi and Blood by 0.4 levels in a month? That's way too fast!"
Wang Xing smiled and said, "After all, this is all my hard work."
"But I just heard that Bai Lingxue's blood and qi level is even more terrifying; she's already at level 7.9," Lu Mufei said in a low voice.
Wang Xing raised an eyebrow.
Level 7.9, just one step away from becoming a Level 8 mech pilot.
Bai Lingxue not only possesses top-notch talent, but also comes from a wealthy family. She never lacks various qi and blood pills and cultivation resources. Coupled with the stimulation of her previous defeat, it's only natural that she would make crazy progress.
"And her mech was close to level 8 last time, I estimate it's at least level 8.1 now, maybe even higher."
Wang Xing sighed, "The Hundred Schools Competition is in just over two months, and she will most likely represent her school as a Level 8 official mecha pilot."
Lu Mufei nodded: "Winning a place in the Hundred Schools Competition will earn you extra points on the college entrance exam. With Bai Lingxue's dual level 8 strength, she will definitely be selected by the school. Wang Xing, you also need to hurry up. If you are really selected by the school to represent us, you will have a chance to get extra points on the college entrance exam."
Wang Xing nodded.
"If he really gets into the Yuanpei Class, he'll have to carefully plan how to spend that 100,000 yuan in the coming period."
…………
The afternoon session is the mecha exam.
The mecha exam is also divided into three parts: level, written test, and practical test.
The mecha rating is self-explanatory; a quick scan with the testing equipment will suffice. The written exam covers mecha theory, practical skills, maintenance, design, and more…
In terms of practical application, there is a wide variety of approaches.
Different types of mechs have different assessment contents. The beast mech is tested on standard items, including mech structure theory, weapon system principles, energy core maintenance, and combat control precision.
Mech suits, on the other hand, emphasize mobility and agility. For example, Lu Mufei's Chi Ying GT shuttled through the mobility test area, its pink and white figure fluttering among the obstacles like a butterfly, attracting many onlookers.
The engineering-type mechs are even more outrageous. Some engineering-type mech students are tested on operating an excavator to dig a standard trench. Others are assessed on the precision and efficiency of earthmoving operations…
Various types of mechs were displayed in the designated area, including beast suits, machine suits, engineering types, and flight types... a dazzling array, like stepping into a miniature mech expo.
Wang Xing's performance with his mechs has never been outstanding. His Tiger-type mechs haven't undergone many modifications, and most of the parts are still the original factory configuration.
Moreover, he hadn't focused too much on the mecha during this period. In the past month, Wang Xing's main focus had been on improving his health and combat skills.
But after completing the mecha test, Wang Xing was still shocked by a piece of news.
"What did you say? Lü Mufei, your mecha is level 8.0?"
Wang Xing's eyes widened as he stared at Lü Mufei in disbelief.
Ten days ago, when Lü Mufei was playing against herself, her rating was 7.3. In these ten days, she has made a leap from 7.3 to 8.0.
Although there are such large leaps in the upgrade of mech level, it is theoretically possible as long as the modifications are very suitable for the mech.
However, the 0.7-level increase in just 10 days is definitely not solely due to the modifications; the mech's inherent talent is also being unleashed.
"But you don't seem too happy. Did you not do well on your theory and practical exams?"
Wang Xing looked at the platinum-haired girl in front of him, but her face did not show much joy; instead, it carried a hint of sullenness.
"But I'm not the number one mecha user in the school..."
Lu Mufei pouted, "I just heard Duan Peng say that Bai Lingxue's mecha is already at level 8.2."
"8.2!"
Wang Xing chuckled. He could tell that Bai Lingxue had been greatly affected by his defeat, and she had been working incredibly hard during this time.
"By the way, your mech is already level 8.0, remember to register at the Mech Alliance offline store."
"I've reported it." Feeling the concern, Lü Mufei finally smiled.
A level 8.0 mech is equivalent to a half-step mech pilot. As long as your health and mana also reach level 8.0, you can officially become a mech pilot certified by the Beidou Star Alliance.
Therefore, if either your health or mech reaches level 8, you must immediately report it offline. For example, if your mech is level 8 like Lü Mufei's, you can receive a health bonus after reporting it.
Wang Xing nodded, then thought of his level 6.3 Tiger Style...
"My mecha level is almost two levels lower than Bai Lingxue's 8.2, and more than one level lower than Lü Mufei's 8.0... But this is not a difference in talent, but mainly a difference in money. After all, my monthly living expenses may not even be enough for Bai Lingxue to replace a joint transmission system."
"If I really get into the Yuanpei Class, I have to make good use of its resources, and with that 100,000 yuan, I have to push the mecha program forward."
Wang Xing made a plan for himself in his mind.
…………
The next morning, we had academic classes.
When Wang Xing walked out of the examination room, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. He had solved the last big math problem, the Chinese reading comprehension was a piece of cake, and even the English oral exam, which was the most difficult before, was answered with great fluency.
He felt that his academic performance this time would be good, the highest he had ever achieved in academic subjects.
After lunch, all the candidates looked nervous.
Practical exam!
This is the part Wang Xing is most looking forward to, and it is also Wang Xing's biggest advantage in widening the score gap.
